Tiwanaku is a pre-Incan city in Bolivia. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and has been since year 2000. Tiwanaku is viewed by most archaeologists as being one of the key sites leading up to the Incan Empire, and remains a beautiful site for modern visitors. The artistic style of Tiwanaku is also quite unique, with fascinating figurative pieces that feature exaggerated heads. The style is related to the Huari style, also found in the Andean region, and it is possible that it grew out of the earlier Pukara style.

1.00The tour guide was terrible. His explanations of the sites inevitably included aliens and highly inaccurate dates. The tour was full of bad information and old racist ideas that locals couldn't have made these sites. The tour company should hire some archeologists and historians to write accurate, up to date information for the guides. I would NOT recommend this tour.
In-depth tour of Tiwanaku!

1.00We booked this trip thru Trip Advisor with Inti Travel manager months before our travel date of early August. My hotel wasn’t listed on the pick up locations. So I contacted Inti Travel thru Trip Advisor 16 days b4 our trip asking if they can pick us up at our hotel, if not how do I find them at the meeting place- NOTHING total silence. Phone # listed for Inti travel is not connected and nothing from WhatsApp either. Now 1 day before our trip, we’ve been charge $110 for2 still nothing after I messaged them today. We are at their office in La Paz in a Tue at 2pm & the office is locked & closed. We’ll go to the meeting place at described time tomorrow & see if they show up! I’ll update this review if we do get to go! Very frustrating!
Very good
